The electronic damping control (EDC)
automatically ensures that the desired
degree of suspension damping is pro-
vided, and thus enhances both safety
and ride comfort.
The Comfort program is selected each
time the engine is started.
Switch positions:
K – Comfort Program
S – Sport program
The driver can switch from one pro-
gram to the other at any time.
In ignition key position 2, the selected
switch position is illuminated.
Automatic Stability Control plus
Traction (ASC+T) - BMW 850 CSi
This system improves driving stability,
particularly when accelerating and
cornering.
The system is in operation whenever
the engine has been started.
The telltale light in the instrument
cluster goes out after the engine has
been started.
To switch off the system:
Press the button; the telltale light will
come on.
To switch the system on again:
Press the button again; the telltale
light will go out.
If the telltale light flashes:
The system is active, that is to say it is
compensating for fluctuations in trac-
tion caused by road conditions.
If the telltale light does not go out
after the engine has been started or
comes on during the journey:
the system is defective, but the car
itself is fully operational with the
exception of the ASC+T stability con-
trol function. Take the car to BMW
Service to have the fault repaired.
